All Chapters of Billionaire Contract Wife: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Alex rushed her straight to the hospital, where doctors and nurses were already waiting outside to receive them. Though her breathing was still weak, she was more stable. Alex refused to let anyone else touch her, carrying her himself to the bed. The doctor checked her vitals and assured him she was fine, but Alex insisted she be admitted for further observation. A VIP hospital room was quickly arranged, allowing her to rest peacefully. Alex stayed by her bedside, watching over her as she slept. After a while, he quietly left and drove straight back to the company. There, he requested the CCTV footage of the incident and sat down to watch it, his jaw tightening with every passing second. He burned with fury as he watched the footage of his stepmother slapping Claire and the crowd standing idly by, filming instead of helping her when she clearly needed it. His fists clenched tightly, and his breathing grew heavy with rage. Without hesitation, he called his secretary into his office

Charlotte dropped her phone, her smile fading as she saw the fury in Alex’s eyes. Before she could react, he grabbed her neck, pushing her against the wall with a force that took her breath away. “What did I tell you about leaving Claire alone?” Alex’s voice was low, filled with an icy anger. Charlotte’s smile didn’t falter. “And I did. I just exposed the truth about her dad that she kept from you. Now you have to choose between her or your company.” Alex’s grip tightened for a moment, and then he pushed her back, the anger still burning in his eyes. “That was the last piece of courtesy I’m offering you. Don’t even think for a second that you actually have a chance with me. You lost that when you left me for my brother.” Charlotte’s face twisted with a mix of resentment and desperation. “I was under pressure from my dad to end up with the best brother. Why weren’t you the best from the start?! Why?!” Alex scoffed, shaking his head at her audacity. His anger flared even more

A week passed, but the news refused to die down. It was as if someone in the background was intentionally keeping the fire burning. Claire was stuck at her mum’s house, hidden away from the prying eyes of the reporters who lingered outside, hoping to catch her and get a comment on the ongoing scandal. Her daily routine had become suffocating—waking up to check the new articles about her dad, scrolling through the relentless comments from people who didn't even know her, attacking her and her family. She used a fake account to reply to some of the cruelest things people said, but deep down, she knew it wasn’t helping. The negativity continued to overwhelm her. What hurt the most was Alex’s silence. After the heated argument at the hospital, he hadn't reached out. Not once. The fact that he didn’t even attempt to speak to her after everything they’d been through shattered her heart and broke the fragile resolve she’d been clinging to. His words, those biting accusations, the blame h

Alex couldn’t believe he was teary-eyed watching her talk about her experiences. His heart ached with each word she spoke, and he sniffed continuously to stop the tears from falling. He hadn’t expected her story to affect him this much, but hearing the pain and frustration in her voice was enough to break through his usually calm demeanor. Claire took a minute to look at the comments on her live video, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the majority of them were sympathetic. She didn’t expect such a response because the purpose of the life video wasn’t to seek sympathy, she just wanted to share her story. But seeing people’s supportive comments made her feel a little less alone in the world. For a fleeting moment, it comforted her, knowing that maybe, just maybe, some of the world could see her for who she truly was not just the daughter of a convicted man who married into a rich family and hid her past. Alex tried calling her multiple times to stop her from continuing the l

Alex arrived at the company with a determined urgency, his jaw clenched and his steps brisk as he made his way through the buzzing hallways. His employees, who usually greeted him with polite smiles, now avoided eye contact. The weight of the scandal seemed to press down on everyone in the building. As soon as he entered his office, his secretary trailed closely behind him, clutching a tablet filled with data and updates. “What’s the current situation?” he asked sharply, dropping his phone and car key on the desk and pulling off his suit jacket. His secretary hesitated for a moment, clearly uneasy about delivering the bad news. "Stock prices surged by 3.8% after your wife’s live video went viral," she began, her tone cautious, "but with the news about the lawsuit filed by the fired workers, we're looking at an all-time low. The stock has plummeted by 26.4%, the lowest it’s been in the last ten years." Alex shut his eyes tightly, the words hitting him like a blow. His chest
